About me
Hello! My name's Will, and I'm an actor and writer who loves all things TTRPG. I didn't start playing TTRPGs until I was in college, because I was too worried about what other people thought of me in high school, because I was an athlete who also did theatre, classic Troy Bolton syndrome. I wish that I had started SO much sooner, because it is one of my favorite things to do, has given me some of my best friends, many of my favorite memories, and more "laugh-until-you-cry" moments than I can count. I played for long enough that I started really seeing what I would want to have in games, and then I realized I could have all of those things if I just ran my OWN games. So here I am, ready to give you all of those things, and also probably an unhinged/adorable NPC companion that will inevitably become your party's mascot.
GM Style
I'm definitely roleplay heavy, and I love doing character voices. I always want my combat to mean something, so the stakes are always either high or hilarious. I also always do a thing called 'Stars and Wishes' after games, where I chat with my players about things that they particularly enjoyed (stars), and things they hope to see in the next session (wishes). It always influences how I run a game, because no two tables are the same!

Being in a campaign run by Will is an awesome experience. His dedication to the characters and the setting led to a really immersive experience even when we were playing with interesting and out there settings and stories (superhero high school!), and he did great in encouraging us to do the same. Even though I am a fairly newer player, he was super helpful and patient. I am envious of his improv skills and cant wait to be in another of his games.
The most fun gaming sessions I've ever had! Played with Will in a standard high fantasy setting and a world of superheroes (and villains). He was very prepared for sessions but also embraced improv when we ran off the map. Great voices and *STRONG* acting skills, it really felt like we were talking to distinct characters, not just NPCs in our way. Highly recommend Will. Somebody please name drop 'Jimothy' and just act like it's a totally normal name if he questions it!
I was part of a group with Will as GM, and highly recommend him. Will does an amazing job with world-building, and he is incredible at adapting/improvising to the players. He knows the right balance of guiding us so that we don't go too off the rails, but also knowing when to step back to let us build our story organically. Our group had a blast with him, and I highly recommend Will to anyone looking for an experienced, fun, and knowledgeable GM.
